Abstract

This paper presents the application of unconditionally sta- ble fundamental flnite-difierence time-domain (FADI-FDTD) method in modeling the interaction of terahertz pulse with healthy skin and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The healthy skin and BCC are modeled as Debye dispersive media and the model is incorporated into the FADI- FDTD method. Numerical experiments on delineating the BCC mar- gin from healthy skin are demonstrated using the FADI-FDTD method based on re∞ected terahertz pulse. Hence, the FADI-FDTD method provides further insight on the difierent response shown by healthy skin and BCC under terahertz pulse radiation. Such understanding of the interaction of terahert pulse radiation with biological tissue such as human skin is an important step towards the advancement of future terahertz technology on biomedical applications.
